Open your Bible and read Psalm 1
“but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.”
Psalm 1:2 · ESVMeditating on Scripture is not emptying your mind. It is the opposite. It is filling it with one thing and refusing to let go.
Take a single verse into your day. Say it in the shower. Say it at a red light. Turn it over while you wash dishes. Put the emphasis on a different word each time and watch what opens up. I am the righteousness of God. I AM the righteousness of God.
The psalm says a person who does this is like a tree planted by streams of water. Trees do not grow in a hurry. They grow because their roots stay in the same soil, season after season, and eventually a drought cannot kill them.
You cannot read a verse once and expect it to reshape you. Chew on it. Let it get down into you.
